Cherkes
Language: Russian (Русский)
Obvernut burkoju shirokoj, I luk, i strely za spinoj, Cherkes nad propast'ju glubokoj Stoit... I vskriknul udaloj: "Chto gory vzdrognuli ot gula? Chto grozno ropshchet po reke? Ne stalo Tramova aula!" A shashka zamerla v ruke. O kon', tovarishch bystronogij, Nagornykh skakunov krasa, Kakoju skachesh' ty dorogoj, Kakije vidish' nebesa? Tvoj nyne korm - pshenica l' jara? V tvojom zhe tesnom dennike Razgul'e stalo ot pozhara - A shashka zamerla v ruke... Net sakli, gde cherkes svobodnyj Na lozhe negi otdykhal I sladostno kumys kholodnyj Iz chashi bratskoj vypival. Net ruzhej; net odezhd bogatykh; Net pamjati o kunake, Darov tekh druzhby vernoj vzjatykh - A shashka zamerla v ruke... "Najezdnikov ischezli sily, Kak dymnyj par ot oblakov; Net khrabrym na zemle mogily; Sdruzhilsja s nimi vrana klev; No udalomu l' soglasit'sja, Chto na `El'bruse plena zvuk?!" Skazal - i v bezdnu on stremitsja, I shashka vypala iz ruk!
